After testing the beta of CentOS 5, i was a little surprised to notice that the display manager part of the prefdm file in /etc/X11 was exactly like in CentOS 4 / RHEL4 and previous versions including RH9.

If tried (tested) that but if you have DESKTOP="KDE" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop and the original prefdm, than the loginscreen will be gdm and not kdm.
You have to do it exactly correct. "./xxx" won't work; "/xxx" won't work, it has to be exactly " . /xxx"
I wouldn't be surprised if the feature you mention existed, but it doesn't work like that on the redhat-pc's i've seen...
It's existed on Unix for many decades.
Here's an example from a 4.4 system showing how it works.
bash-3.00$ cat x VAR=changed bash-3.00$ echo $VAR
bash-3.00$ VAR=original bash-3.00$ echo $VAR original bash-3.00$ . x bash-3.00$ echo $VAR changed bash-3.00$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.4 (Final) bash-3.00$
So basically in the original, /etc/sysconfig/desktop consists of a line like DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE and the system works as expected.
Thanks for the extra info, it would seem that i was sortof misguided by incorrect use of the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file. I once tried DISPLAYMANAGER="KDM", but i realize now why that didn't work. ..
